Is firasat al mo'min -the believers- (فِرَاسَة المؤمين) the same as what in the west is called empaths?
Salam alaykum, Definition of an empath: someone highly sensitive to their environments and intuition I.e. they have knowledge of things and places kind of like psychics but without use of jinns as in the case of some soothsayers etc. I know of a similar concept in Islam > رواه الترمذي في (جامعه)، ال...
Salam alaykum, Definition of an empath: someone highly sensitive to their environments and intuition I.e. they have knowledge of things and places kind of like psychics but without use of jinns as in the case of some soothsayers etc. I know of a similar concept in Islam > رواه الترمذي في (جامعه)، الترمذي (3127) وغيره، وهو حديث لا يصح مرفوعا، وإنما هو قول عمرو بن أبي قيس: كان يقال: "اتقوا..." فذكره. انظر العقيلي (4/129) (1)، وقال: حديث غريب. ولفظه: عن أبي سعيد الخدري قال: قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم: "اتقوا فِرَاسَة المؤمن؛ فإنه ينظر بنور الله"، ثم قرأ: {إِنَّ فِي ذَلِكَ لَآيَاتٍ لِّلْمُتَوَسِّمِينَ} (2)قد ذكر ابن القيم رحمه الله في (الطرق الحكمية) من أنواع الفراسة وأفرادها أشياء عجيبة، وقال في (تاج العروس شرح القاموس) (4): والفراسة -بالكسر- اسم من التفرس، وهو التوسم، يقال: تفرس فيه الشيءَ إذا توسمه. وقال ابن القَطَّاع: الفراسةُ بالعينِ إدراكُ الباطن، وبه فسر الحديث: "اتقوا فراسة المؤمن؛ فإنه ينظر بنور الله"، وقال الصاغاني: لم يثبت، قال ابن الأثير يقال بمعنيين: أحدهما: ما دل ظاهر الحديث عليه، وهو ما يوقعه الله تعالى في قلوب أوليائه؛ فيعلمون أحوال بعض الناس بنوع من الكرامات، وإصابة الظن، والحدس. والثاني: نوع يعلم بالدلائل، والتجارب، والخَلْق، والأخلاق، فتعرف به أحوال الناس، وللناس فيه تآليف قديمة وحديثة. > وقال ابن القيم رحمه الله تعالى في (مدارج السالكين) في الكلام على الفراسة (5): قال تعالى: {إِنَّ فِي ذَلِكَ لَآيَاتٍ لِّلْمُتَوَسِّمِينَ} ... فإن الناظر متى نظر في آثار ديار المكذبين، ومنازلهم، وما آل إليه أمرهم، أورثه ذلك فراسة، وعِبرة، وفكرة. وقال تعالى في حق المنافقين: {وَلَوْ نَشَاءُ لأَرَيْنَاكَهُمْ فَلَعَرَفْتَهُم بِسِيمَاهُمْ وَلَتَعْرِفَنَّهُمْ فِي لَحْنِ الْقَوْلِ} (6)، فالأول: فراسة النظر والعين، والثاني: فراسة الأذن والسمع. وسمعت شيخ الإسلام ابن تيمية رحمه الله يقول: عَلَّقَ معرفتَه إياهم بالنظر على المشيئة، ولم يعلق تعريفهم بلحن خطابهم على شرطٍ، بل أخبر به خبرا مؤكَّدًا بالقسم، فقال: {وَلَتَعْرِفَنَّهُمْ فِي لَحْنِ الْقَوْلِ}، وهو تعريض الخطاب، وفحوى الكلام، ومغزاه. واللحن ضربان: صواب، وخطأ، فلحن الصواب: نوعان، أحدهما: الفطنة، ومنه الحديث: "ولعل بعضَكم أن يكون أَلْْحَنَ بحجته من بعض" (7)، والثاني: التعريض والإشارة، وهو قريب من الكناية http://ar.islamway.net/fatwa/22891/حول-حديث-اتقوا-فراسة-المؤمن (Source ) P.S. Couldn't find an English version so you would have to run a translation on Google if your Arabic is poor.

Can some verses of the quran be interpreted as a metaphor?
There are some thing that are contradictory to modern science. Like evolution(human) . So if a person who interpret The Holy Quran(some verse) as a metaphor will he be committing kufr.

May a Muslim learn how to perform telepathy?
I would like to know Islam's view on telepathy based on rulings by Scholars well-grounded in the Qur'an and the Sunnah as well as the Manhaj of the Sahaabah (RAA). There is an oft-repeated incident related to telepathy about Caliph Omar (RAA) who shouted and warned another Companion (RAA) who was qu...
I would like to know Islam's view on telepathy based on rulings by Scholars well-grounded in the Qur'an and the Sunnah as well as the Manhaj of the Sahaabah (RAA). There is an oft-repeated incident related to telepathy about Caliph Omar (RAA) who shouted and warned another Companion (RAA) who was quite far away in Jihaad in another land. Unfortunately I do not recall the specific incidents nor can I find any reliable source for it. The question specifically is: is a Muslim allowed to learn telepathy? Is there any such thing?

Knowledge of religion without Language?

I was having a discussion with this person about religion. He asked me that whether it would be possible for human beings to have the concept of God without having the knowledge of Language. I pondered over it and realized that we could not recognize anything if we don't have language. For this concept, I recalled few verses from the Qur'an: > 1.) And [mention, O Muhammad], when your Lord said to the angels, "Indeed, I will make upon the earth a successive authority." They > said, "Will You place upon it one who causes corruption therein and > sheds blood, while we declare Your praise and sanctify You?" Allah > said, "Indeed, I know that which you do not know." **And He taught > Adam the names - all of them.** Then He showed them to the angels and > said, "Inform Me of the names of these, if you are truthful." They > said, "Exalted are You; we have no knowledge except what You have > taught us. Indeed, it is You who is the Knowing, the Wise." > > -Qur'an 2:30-32 > > > 2.) > > The Most Merciful.Taught the Qur'an,Created man,**[And] taught him > eloquence.** > > -Qur'an 55:1-4 So the fact that Allah(SWT) mentioned teaching us language right after our creation implies that there is some truth in what he said. My question is is there any paper, thesis or any article that deals with this concept. Or any other source that could help me to understand this concept. And show that person, so that he might be convinced that Islam is the true Religion. Sincere Thanks in Advance, Jazakallaho Khairan
